Guess who attended a Gala Event in New York City on Thursday night? Hint: She models and acts..
Model/Actress Ya Ya DaCosta (pictured with Diane Hernandez). Best known for being the smart mouthed runner-up on the 3rd cycle of America’s Next Top Model, the model has co-starred is various feature films since the show wrapped.

Ya Ya looks cute… #### 11111
I knew it was Yaya…..#2 is first place loser…damn..
OMG!!!!I loved her on that show!!!i actually didnt reconize her in these pics
wow… glad to see ya ya…but not really feelin the hairstyle in the pic.
I knew it was her! you can tell by the hair and the long neck. lol She looks nice!
cute !!!
PRETTY FACE, BUT I DON’T LIKE THIS HAIRSTYLE ON HER.
I THINK YAYA IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, BUT I MUST ADMIT, I WONDER WHY WOMEN WITH BREASTS THAT ARE SLIGHTLY DEFLATED/HANGING WEAR DRESSES LIKE THIS…..I DON’T GET IT…IT’S NOT A FLATTERING LOOK.
Yaya looks cute and so does Diane…I see she’s dropped some pounds since her ANTM cycle and she’s still looking good!!!
She is so young, why are her fun bags looking like that…lol! She is still gawgus though! Now mine look sort of like that, but I had a baby…lol!
I got one! lol.. I knew that was her… both ladies faces look pretty!
She looks much older in the face than she did on ANTM, how old is she?
FIRST ONE I EVER GOT RIGHT
I don’t like her hair like that, it looks too wiry and oily. Less is more Ya-Ya.
i commend her on her success tho.
bless her hungry looking little heart
I knew it was her too! haha
I loove her hair, she should be a hair model. love how she wears it natural as well
Wonder how her acting career is going?
She annoyed me on “America’s Next Top Model” but she is really doing the damn thing with an impressive resume. Just goes to show that you do not have to walk away a winner to still come out on top! Take notes AMNTM rejects.
It’s a shame that we are so programmed with the look of breast implants…that we don’t know how real breast actually look!
If you look back to national geographic photos-you will see exactly this is how natural breast should look- All the women I know pre-children have breast like this…These are NATURAL BREAST…not the breast implant look that we are so used to seeing. People need to know that!!!!!
word to NYKE!
everytime i hear about the Waldorf Astoria.. i think of Coming To America..
she needs to finish the food on her plate…
#17, I hear ya! Tell it! Ya-Ya always got on my nerves, but I thought and still think Diane is gorgeous!
LOL @ 19!
I knew dat was Yaya
YAYA IS GORGEOUS. I LOOOOOOVE THE FACT THAT SHE WEARS HER HAIR NATURAL. Not tooo many spotlighted women (blk WOMEN) like to wear there hair natural. Shes soo pretty I hope hollywierd dont try and provoke her into rockin the “inidan hair weaves or chemical relaxers.” We need more BLK WOMEN that are spotlighted actually looking like TRUE BLK BEAUTIES INSTEAD OF “MADE-UP-I-NEED-TO-LOOK-WHITE-BEAUTY-TO-BE-ACCPETED.”
if ppl dont accept the way GOD made you;THEN they dont accpet you…so fuck’em.
I agree NYKE!! The same thing goes with the hair. . .her natural hair is very beautiful! And the hairstyle is very flattering on her in my opinion. . .I do agree that she does need to eat though, seems like the pressures of the modeling industry have gotten to her. But she still looks beautiful!
EwWwW why are yall FEMALES emphazing on her breast???????? How many boobies have yall looked at and observed to notice that her breast looks odd TO YOU??? get a grip and stop TRYING TO FIND stupid sh)t to discuss.
I finally got one right lol. She’s very attractive and natural looking.
Why don’ t I like her??? I’ve really tried…oh I remember, he personality sucks!
How I guess right? and shes on the D list…it was def. the hair.
I didnt look at the picture, but she has a trademarked look. Chick hasn’t stepped up her style since ANTM. I can tell from the neckbone, saggy titays and nappy ass hair, that it’s YAYA. Oh and she is JUST a model and actress, so that was a dead giveaway as well. Dont get me wrong tho, girl is GORGEOUS, just wish she’d switch her shit up.
EW SHES TOO SKINNY, I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE IT WAS HER
I thought it was Anika Noni Rose. I love her hair though, lmao @ all the comments about her breasts, i mean, thats the reason why i thought it was Anika Rose.
Gorgeous girl, but her personality stinks.
Please go to the CW.com and complain about the placement of the only
********** black sitcomes on TV. They are killing two really funny shows and i can
**********believe that Chris Rock or that Akil Brock woman would allow this to happen
*********she let them kill girlfriends which was heading nowhere but that seemed like
********maybe because she was spending good time making The Game so awesome
********* but i swear i miss it all the time, Who is at home watching TV on a friday
********night? Surley not the demographic needed for this show to stay afloat, so
********please people lets get in their grills about this.
I think YA-YA’s hair is beautiful…why is that Black women DON’T LOVE THEIR NATURAL HAIR!!!
For all the haters, BLACK HAIR WILL NEVER BE STRAIGHT!!!…no matter how much yaky perm weave or fiberguard relaxer u put in it…and she does switch her hair up…to me girls with natural hair always have a different hairstyles..natural is versatile.
When women have perms its either in one of three main styles: 1) ponytail. 2) down. 3)or the front up and back down, that’s if its not falling, snapping, and breaking off. Its rare u see a sistah with healthy, thick, shiny relaxed hair.
I wonder if white women see us with weaves/wigs and laugh cause they know we trying to be like them!!!!!
As a model, she would have to cut herself off from lots of jobs if she was too shy and unwilling to show her low cutness. Besides, we call those “grippers” cause you can take both hands and grip ‘em like a pepper mill shaker! lol! They work just fine and only women have a problem with the way they look!
Anyhow, did y’all see this ANTM cycle winner pick Tyra up when she won? That ish was funny! Tyra’s big A$$ was all in the air! lol!
Angel, is that you in the Wallpapper? If so, Girl, you slimmin down nicely! Keep up the good work! Thirty-five more pounds and you might be able to close them legs completely! lol! oxoxoxox! I bet them knees have never touched!
lol @ #17. national geographic. hahahaha!!!
yes!
i’m back! i got it!
and diana looks great:D
LMAO @ 18 me too. “That sounds so familiar (snaps) Comming to America.
I love YaYa but these are not my fave pics of her…
YAYA is so beautiful
I still don’t know who she is. LOL!
cutie pie
aww she is cute the only one doing a damn thing as i see…being at red carpet and movie premieres dont count…ya ya has a job…good for her….
the only one from ANTM….
Beautiful. She is really on the acting scene. I saw nothing wrong with her attitude. U don’t have to be catty and keep up ish 2 be liked. No girl on the show complained about her and the ‘lived’ with her. She was just a smart girl and aint ish wrong with that. Do ya thang Yaya! And her boobs are natural not saggy you no titty having witches!
Strong beautiful black woman! Go YaYa!
YaYa looks beautiful, people are so brain washed they think real breast and natural hair are unattractive.
I just wanna say i know what REAL breasts look like because i have them…i think i’m older than yaya and my breasts don’t look like that! I know the difference between “REAL” breasts and breast that are sagging….It’s no big deal….sometimes when we’re rushing and the assistant is on someone else, we help each other and the assistant come around the adjust the look…however, point being i’ve seen many of breasts including my own, and i know the difference between breasts being natural and saggy.
Just because a woman has natural breasts don’t mean they sag. IAnd just because a woman have implants don’t mean her breasts won’t sag; i’ve seen saggy breasts with implants……
i’m older than Yaya, and my breasts are still up and perky, AND my breasts are larger than hers..Hoping they won’t change when i have kids……I know every woman is different, but i thought it was weird that her breasts look that way…..wasn’t meant to be a big deal when i said it; just a passing thought.
Yaya’s breasts are definitely sagging and i wouldn’t have known that had she not worn that ensemble…..It’s not like we went looking.
LOVE YAYA.
Eva’s diva attitude sucked. Yaya represented for educated, powerful strong African Americans. Eva just perpetuated the stereotype. Yaya and Tocarra will always be my top models. Eva just a “diva”
WHOS THE FAT PERSON IN THE BACK GROUND OF THIS WEB SITE??? CHANGE IT ASAP!
UGLY HAIR
Love, Love, Love, the natural hair. I’m happy Yaya maintained her sense of self throughout her modeling and acting career. I’ve seen her in so many ads, music videos, commercials and movies, and she always seems to stay true to herself.
Wasn’t Diane plus Size!??? She lost all that weight! wow! Anyhow she looks stunning! As do Ya Ya as always.
yall ignorant..u kno datz not yaya’z real hair..just cos she put an afro-puff-draw-string-pony-tail on the back of her hair makes it “natural”..
and cos black women straighten our hair doesn’t mean we are tryna be white..it means we’re tryna take care of ourselves and look god for our men cos no matter haw much they say they want a natural sister, you aint never seen none of dem tryna take whoopi goldbergs ass somwhere ya digg
That Diane girl looks VERY familiar but I can’t place her….
To #77…u think having straight hair makes u look better? lol…and whoopi goldberg is not cute PERIOD!!!….even if she had a beyonce-type lace front wig on!!!!
I meant #56
She is beautiful.
